Is your feature/tool request related to a problem? Please describe.

We would like the ability to use the Bulk Update tool to change the "Tag Names" of Other Catalog Numbers" (AKA "Additional Identifier Value" when viewed on catalog record page).
We (DMNS Arachnology) use the Other Catalog Numbers field to track our Accession numbers and NPS catalog/accession numbers. Because we migrated from SCAN and our data predates the addition of this field, a large majority of our catalog records do not have the Tag Name specified for an Other Catalog Number field, which is our internal accession number 99.99% of the time. Now when we enter in our accession number into that field we add "DMNS Accession #" to the Tag Name. We would like to do a bulk update to our records to add this tag name to everything that doesn't already have it

Describe the solution you'd like.

The bulk update tool already works very well, and adding the ability to bulk update specifically the Tag Name linked with an Other Catalog Number (AKA "Additional Identifier Value" when viewed on catalog record page).. You can already bulk update the Other Catalog Number field specifically but not the Tag Name. Then I could go through and add that tag name to every record very quickly. Thank you!~
